Fables For the Fair “‘How to Guard Against Domestic Crime.” (With Auctorial Acknowledgments to the Police Commissioner) By Marguerite Mooers Marshall Copyright, 1022 (New York Evening World) by Prose Publishing Co, *. MORAL: If Anything Happens to You, It’s Your Own Fault. preserve outward order and decency in their beloved city By watching their “don'ts Or, rather, Commissioner Enright’s “don'ta”— Why shouldn't women use an equally simple plan For preserving domestic peace? Instead of trying to reform a husband, or to police him, Why tempt the poor man to commit crime? You ask to be burgled, according to Doughty Dick, When you leave the window unlocked, or the shader down, or the key under the doormat. You make it impossible for the bandit to resist you, .When you step into a dark doorway, or go to the bank every Monday at 2 o'clock. If this be correct paychology, or, in popular patois, “the nMght dope,” ‘Wee Then it must be equally true that the female victim is really to blame for domestic crime, And not him from whom offense cometh. Therefore, to keep marital love and peace from being stolen, broken and otherwise injured, To guard against the criminal on the hearth, Let me propose a list of “DON'TS FOR WIVES" — As follows: \ DON'T serve boiled cod and tapioca cream at the same dinne When you know he loathes both— You invite the grouch that slaughtereth the evening's joy. DON'T take a bath and use up every drop of the warm wate: On the evening when he plans to shavi Unless you want your face scratched when he says goodnight. DON'T call him at 5.89 A. M., No matter how earnestly he has begged you to do so, DON'T try to cheer him up when he has a cold in his head, DON’T ask him to go shopping for you oftener than once a week, DON'T let the moths get in his overcoat, DON'T tip the glass of his chiffonter the wrong way, DON'T leave a rug where his homecoming toe trips over It, DON'T let the dog wear out the leathor seat of his armchair, DON'T let the laundress tear large holes in his handkerchiofs— Husbands are always looking for a chance to commit the crime of profanity! DON'T inquire why he was late to dinner, DON'T demand an accounting of where he went the night he didn’t come homo at all, DON'T ask why he hired suoh a pretty stenographer, DON'T catechise him about the women he knew before he was married, DON'T put him on oath about whether he was really “in conference” The time you telephoned and cowdn't get him, DON'T make him promise to stop drinking bootleg stuff, DON'T question him about that unexpected business trip, DON’T ask him if he loves you just cxactly as much as he ever did ‘The crimes of perjury ‘and bearing false witness sit far too lightly upon a husband's conscience! DON'T ask pretty ladies to your house for long visite, DON'T go away for the summer and leave him All Alone in the Hot City, DON"? stay at home to save money, while he goes out to spend it, DON'T urge him to make life happy for your most beautiful unmarried friend, DON'T be jealous of her, DON'T let some other woman “understand” him, DON'T so resent his ordinary attentions to other women ‘That he concludes he may as well have the game, eince he has the name, DON'T sforget that the women he meets in the business world are often younger and more attractive than yourself, DON’T forgot that most of them have other fish to fry, and are not inter- ested in keeping your Stephen on the gridiron, DON'T think you can hold his love by the bolts and bars of custom and prohihition— DON’T be careless of It—you encourage theft! DON’T give him a kiss lke a cold boiled potato, DON'T ask him why he can’t make as much money as he did in 1917, DON'T put in a bjd for a new Baster hat when he's just brought bis oli one home from the cleaner’s, DON'T compare him to his didadvantage with all the other men you might have married, 4 DON’T lend his garden hore, or lawn mower, to a nelghbor— He may not like the neighbor, DON’T borrow his safety razor to shave your daughter's neck, below her bobbed hair—or your own, DON'T beat him to the telling of his pet story—and then spol’ the point of tt Wife-murder is an appalling crime to lay upon his soul, And wives have ‘been murdered for less! | Arise!

The aching void had ceased long since And had given way to a numbness And nothing more could wound, For he had touched pitch deep And sounded the depths of despair, Ah, Fate indeed had handed him a blow From which he could not rise, nor even willed it.
